case_whenWhat do I need to read to get where you're coming from?
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series and the John Dies at the End series
both 10/10s mixing gut wrenching existentialism and laugh out loud comedy
tbh I probably wouldn’t say I’m into comedy writing in general but those two and Terry Pratchett are the only writers to ever make me bust out laughing in response to words on a page
